V7 to v8 upgrade error - npm regenerator-runtime step

Hello, I have downloaded the latest Production image from https://erpnext.com/download Logged in with frappe user and executed: cd frappe-bench bench update It warned me that it needs to make major version upgrade from v7 to v8 So I started: bench update --upgrade It took some time and when it reached the npm … regenerator-runtime it raised an error and stopped. I have tried second time. The same error. See the screen shot. Any help is much appreciated. [40]
